Assembler Workbench

Packaging for Sinclair QL Assembler Workbench
Assembler Workbench is a complete integrated 68000 machine code development package by Talent Computer Systems.

There are three main program modules which are accessed from a menu on screen:

  • Full Screen Editor
  • Assembler
  • Monitor and Disassembler

The package allows you to edit, assemble, execute and then debug assembly language programs in memory without accessing the microdrives or disk drives.

Full on-screen help is also provided.

Advertised features include:

  • Assembler can operate in a conventional two-pass mode or as a one-line assembler
  • The Monitor offers a dual screen facility to assist in debugging graphics programs
  • Trace code in RAM and ROM
  • Loads and saves to backing store
  • Multi-window display
  • Set Registers
  • Search, Move, Fill, Insert etc
  • Job and Channel control
  • ESC interrupts executing program
  • Disassembler included
  • On-line help (ie. on screen - this was before the days of the internet!)
  • Trace code QDOS traps option
  • Full window memory editor
  • HEX and ASCII dumps
  • Break and file access
  • Function key definer
  • Various screen layouts

The author later released a Macro Assembler which consisted of just an editor and macro assembler.
